No tissues needed. Isn’t this supposed to be happy?
To: Lobsterback
It’s called tears of joy.

Before I left for Desert Storm I went to a local flower shop and placed orders for flowers for my (Drill Sgt) wife for our Anniversary, her birthday, and Valentine's Day, all of which were fairly near to my departure date. The girls at the shop thought it was great (maybe they were working on a commission).
Talking about it with one of my comrades the day before the ground war kicked off he said "What if you die tomorrow?" I had never even thought about the possibility that she might receive flowers from the grave and what it might do to her.
I'm glad this guy's thing worked out.

You’ll be in my prayers.
It wasn’t the commission ... it was YOU that impressed them. You’re a wodnerful Dad! Taht was very thoughtful.
We wish you an early Happy Father’s Day!

Thanks for posting. Was looking at the video with tears in my eyes and a huge smile.

Something must be wrong with my computer. The tape ran—dragged—in fits and starts until I finally gave up! And I don’t have a resident 3 year old to tell me what’s wrong! I was really looking forward to seeing this message too.

The girls were thrilled because you were so romantic!! So sweet. And if your wife got flowers from the grave, she would have been swooningly happy, too.

before Jack Benny died he went to the florist and arranged for a rose be sent to his wife each day for the rest of her life.

I love to see big tough guys with happy tears. Empathy is an excellent quality of one’s character.
